No. 3.
ENIGMA.
My first is in good, but not in bad.
My second is in sane, but not in mad.
My third is in rooster, not in fowl.
My fourth is in hawk, but not in owl.
My fifth is in plant, but not in flower.
My sixth is in rain, but not in shower.
My seventh is in bluster, not in rant.
My eighth is in emmet, not in ant.
My whole is the name of a lovely plant.
